For the first time in Egypt, the Ikea bakery will be available to customers, selling an array of baked Swedish delights and bread selections. Also featured is the Ikea restaurant which can house around 450 guests.
Speaking on the occasion, Vinod Jayan, Managing Director of IKEA, commented: “Today marks an important day for IKEA Al Futtaim, bringing us closer to our vision of creating a better everyday life for the many people here in Egypt. We are extremely excited to open our second store in Mall of Arabia.
